The people angry at Trump’s order ride subways & buses with Muslims every day. The people cheering it have never met one. Who’s in a bubble?

Rowling has been involved in politics and humanitarianism for decades.

One of her first jobs after finishing college was working as a researcher and secretary for Amnesty International. Later, she lived on welfare around the time she started writing the first “Harry Potter” novel. Her backing for the program has made her a lifelong supporter — and later donor — of the British Labour Party. She founded the charity Lumos to help disadvantaged children.
